Fundraising for REST

Published November 12, 2015

First, a big thank you to the fundraising committee. Linda Harrison is chairing the committee and can be reached at: ljharrison2050@gmail.com. This committee is doing their best to share information between the parishes about funds that have been raised and about fundraisers in the works. Each parish should have a contact person for fundraising information. This month, various groups are holding cookie fundraisers, and we have many events upcoming in the new year, so stay tuned! Please make sure to share information so that we get a good turnout for our many fun events, and we get to know each other by sharing our time and talents.

Thank you to Kathy Campbell for designing the REST Christmas card. Anyone who would like to donate toward the refugees as a wonderful Christmas gift can use the card. Insert the name of the person you wish to give the gift for and fill in the amount you want to give, send your cheque to St. Agnes Anglican Church-Refugee Fund, and print off your card. Any gifts over 25$ will be issued a tax receipt.

If you would like someone to print the card for you, please email me or a refugee committee member at your church and we are happy to do so.

Please note donations can be made through any of the churches involved. Mark clearly on the cheque, that is is for refugees. Cheques can also be made directly to our refugee account, which is, St. Agnes Anglican Church-Refugee Fund.
